Abstract

Earning as one of the components of determining the lifestyle and level of social welfare of people has a two-way relationship with the economic policies of governments. Therefore, the formulation of new policies is accompanied by the emergence of new phenomena at the level of society.Smuggling is one of the phenomena whose effects and problems have plagued Iran's border communities since the establishment of the Ministry of Customs until today, and its consequences continue.With the rise of the Pahlavi government and the amendment and formulation of laws, the shape and image of Iranian life also underwent changes according to the new laws.In addition to people's appearance, these changes also changed their livelihood. Before the establishment and implementation of monopoly laws, the smuggling of goods by the people of the border areas was limited to personal consumption. But with the implementation of these laws and especially the foreign trade monopoly law in 1309, this phenomenon underwent a serious transformation. Examining the documents shows that from this period onwards, the monopolization of imports and the pricing of some products by the government caused a noticeable difference in the prices of goods on both sides of the border. Therefore, traders and merchants started importing these items on a large scale. Due to government control, these goods were transported through unofficial crossings. Therefore, merchants and traders turned to the use of local labor for import and export through unofficial crossings.
